Ibis Styles Paris la Défense Courbevoie

It was part of our Paris Olympic package, otherwise wouldn't have considered. All in all it was a good hotel. I like that it was secure with a gate and we could park right in front. It was up a level but there was an elevator. The ladies at the front desk were all amazing. Nice and helpful. The man who was there at night and usually the next morning was very rude. He needs a lesson in customer service, not that it would make a difference, but...They called a cab for us several times, so convenient. There are restaurants within walking distance as they only do breakfast, although we took a cab. There is a store out the back gate. They do breakfast which was good, plenty choices. There is a small bar and lounge area. There are many other places in Paris but all in all it was an adequate hotel.

Conveniently located Overall a nice hotel, has mainly all amenities you are used to, except ironing board. Staff is friendly

All the basics were there and we had good stay (6 nights). Value for money! Good: - Great air condition (it was 28-36 celsius outside but room was really pleasant (22-23 celsius)) - Clean room - Breakfast included with fresh oranges juice machine thingy - Didn't hear any noice from other rooms (lucky or good walls) - Location was okay - Staff at reception was friendly - Drinkable tap water (only with slight side taste, Paris feature) - (Small) elevator (though it broke halfway our stay and was offline rest of trip) - WiFi signal was good in our room (3rd floor) Could be better: - WC/restroom was really small but gladly we are not large persons so we managed - No refrigerator in room - Room cleaning came up quite already in the morning (around 9 o'clock), don't forget do not disturb sign if you want slower morning - Breakfast could have some vegetables and greens (like salad, tomato, paprika, cucumber) but it is propably normal France style breakfast. We also have vegan diet but staff from kitchen didn't speak good enough English to tell what is vegan and what is not. - Slighty crooked shelf in our room (could not be used for items and room was already quite small) - WiFi was free but you had to login through website (just give email) so you couldn't use Chromecast with room TV. You would need a laptop to use as a wifi repeater to bypass this.

At a time when all surrounding properties were at least 25% more expensive. Yes, the rooms are really only suitable for single occupancy, the bathroom is about one square meter but just adequate On the plus side the double glazed windows totally shut out all external noise, my room was next to the lift, again no sound or from the corridor. The room was spotlessly clean, efficient aircon. At breakfast a DIY fresh orange juice machine, excellent bread, croissant and jam plus the ability to poach eggs to one's preferred time Good very local restaurants and shops Reception friendly and helpful, better spoken English than my poor French !
